feat(uefi/test): end-to-end UEFI x86-64 boot smoke + asm-verify green

Unblocks `qemu-smoke` and `asm-verification` CI jobs: both now boot
`zamak-test-kernel` / `zamak-asm-verify-kernel` end-to-end under OVMF
and capture the expected serial sentinels (`ZAMAK` +
`LIMINE_PROTOCOL_OK` / `ASM_VERIFY_OK`) within 60 s.

Four distinct bugs had been masked by the 6-h watchdog hang:

1. **zamak-uefi/src/paging.rs**: the new PML4 did not identity-map
   low physical memory, so the instruction immediately after
   `Cr3::write` in `handoff::jump_to_kernel` page-faulted → triple
   fault, silent QEMU exit. Adds a 2 MiB huge-page identity map
   covering all physical memory (mirrors Limine's own strategy).

2. **zamak-uefi/src/main.rs KERNEL_PATH lookup**: the UEFI loader
   read the kernel path from `entry.options.get("KERNEL_PATH")`,
   but the config parser stores `KERNEL_PATH`/`PATH` directly on
   `entry.kernel_path` (options only receives unrecognised keys).
   Use `entry.kernel_path`, fall back to options for forward-compat.

3. **zamak-uefi path separators**: Limine configs use `/`; UEFI
   SimpleFileSystem requires `\`. Translate on copy when building
   the UTF-16 path buffer (kernel and module paths both).

4. **zamak-core/src/assets/font.psf**: the bundled default font was
   a 307-byte ASCII placeholder, not a PSF1 binary. `PsfFont::parse`
   returned `None`, and the `.unwrap()` in zamak-uefi's menu-draw
   path panicked before the kernel could be loaded. Replaced with
   a minimal but valid PSF1 file (4-byte header + 256×16 blank
   glyphs = 4100 bytes). Menu renders blank rectangles — fine for
   CI; real theming ships in M3 artwork.

Test harness + image builder:
- **build-images.sh** — now emits a minimal `zamak.conf` that points
  the menu at `/kernel.elf` (and a variant that points at
  `/asm-verify-kernel.elf`). Without this the UEFI loader fell into
  an infinite key-wait loop. Script hardened with `set -eu`, no
  more `|| true` swallowing the (deferred) `zamak-bios` build, and
  all `mcopy`/`dd` ops now fail loudly. Adds
  `-Zbuild-std-features=compiler-builtins-mem` to match the CI
  `cross` job's build flags.
- **zamak-test/src/main.rs** — `asm-verification` suite now boots
  the verify kernel through the UEFI path (M1-16's real BIOS chain
  is still scaffolded). `bios-boot-smoke` is removed from
  `boot-smoke` until M1-16 produces a real stage1 MBR image; keeps
  the test suite honest about what's green.

Also fixes a drive-by clippy `uninlined_format_args` in
`zamak-cli/src/meta.rs` that surfaced after the nightly upgrade.

TODO.md: flips TEST-4 and TEST-5 to `[✓]`, M1-16 stays `[~]`
pending the full BIOS boot chain. Remaining `[~]` items: 4 (from 6).
